Joaquin Phoenix's 'Joker' will apparently "have a political bent, with some pointed commentary on Donald Trump." And here I thought WB liked making money after the enjoyably non-political 'Aquaman'.

Sure would be a shame if that political message in the movie looks idiotic after mass arrests have already happened…

Didn't they originally want to cast Alec Baldwin as Thomas Wayne? Sounds like they are going with the angle that Thomas Wayne is a Trumpian "fascist" figure. So now we're shitting on the legacy of Batman's father by attaching their "Orange Man Bad!" narrative. double facepalm
